Yes, I can change *vt100*font and *vt100*font2-6. But can't specify, without changing them, which one to use at startup. (Or do I? I found nothing in the docs.) (Note that the resource strings mentioned in my original message, or the parameter, don't exist.) There is a feature, the resource string "*tex4014*initialFont", which (according to the documentation) does what I want, but to some mysterious 'Tektronix window'. I would like to have the same feature in the VT100 window. Thanks for your attention. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
